THE HOLLOW MEN
Book ID/图书代码： 05430015B81985
English Summary/英文概要： Harry Kent is a dedicated registrar at a London hospital – a critical care registrar who throws his all into his job, and gets by with the minimal amount of sleep. This suits Harry who has no time for dreams, having come back from being a medic in Afghanistan.
Among one of the long term critical care patients is pink-haired ‘Zara’ who was delivered to the hospital during the Tottenham riots and has been in a coma since. No one has come to claim her and her real identity is a mystery. Harry is on a quest to find out who she is, and uses his role as a Force Medical Examiner to the police – or ‘police surgeon’ as he prefers – to call in favours when he can.
When Harry is sent into a hostage situation in a Chicken Restaurant to assist the hostage taker with his rapidly detoriating health, he finds himself drawn into sympathizing with Solomon Idris – a teenaged boy driven to desperate measures.
The siege spirals out of control and Solomon is rushed to hospital, on the brink of death.
Harry is compelled to look into the cryptic secrets the dying boy tells him, and is soon unravelling the mystery of the death of a young woman.
Harry is stretched to the limits as he desperately balances his hospital work with his desire to help Solomon; compounding this is his struggle to build bridges with his best friend as they cope with the fall-out from their time in Afghanistan and an unexpected chemistry with D.I. Noble. And what of pink-haired ‘Zara’?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 哈利•肯特是伦敦一家医院里一名尽心尽责的接收员---作为一名颇具争议的人物，他将自己所有的时间与精力都投入到了工作中，睡眠时间十分匮乏。然而这却很适合哈利，作为一名从阿富汗归来的战地医生，这让他可以没有时间去经历可怕的睡梦。
在这家医院的长期重症监护病患中，有一名拥有一头粉色头发的扎拉，托特汉姆暴乱时，她被送来医院，并在那以后一直深陷昏迷之中。从没有人来认领，她的身份就像是一个谜。
哈利追查着她的真实身份，并利用其军队医生的身份以及和警察们的关系---或者说“警医”的身份，尽可能的寻求着帮助。
当哈利被派往一家鸡肉餐馆中，帮助一名人质持有者控制他迅速恶化的身体状况时，哈利发现自己竟然对这名做出暴行并采取极端措施的青少年所罗门•伊德瑞斯充满了同情。
当包围一被突破，情况得到控制，所罗门以最快的速度被送往了医院，却也身处死亡的边缘。
哈利不得不接受这名濒死少年告诉他的可怕秘密，并且很快地因此解开了一名年轻女性神秘死亡背后的真相。
哈利努力地想要在医院的工作和帮助所罗门的渴望间保持平衡，但却也处于极限的边缘；与此同时，他还努力地试图帮助自己最好的朋友们，一起应对当年在阿富汗时期留下的创伤以及一种突然出现的化学物质。而粉发的扎拉又究竟是谁？（DC）

不知你是否记得，本书在德国地区的版权已在一场激烈的金牌中花落他家，并一度就本书的电视和电影改编权也引发骚动，因此本书可谓是毋庸置疑的惊世巨作！随后我也附上了德国版欲出版的相关材料。
As you may recall, German rights were sold from the typescript in a heated auction, and there was a similar flurry for TV/ film rights, now optioned to SeeSaw. So this should be huge! I’ve attached some of the German pre-publication material.
